3rd Test at Melbourne - December 26 - 30

[Shri]

maybe aus should rest their bowlers more when they play us at home. they might win a series once some time again this century

 

[Spark]

that was genuinely four wickets going on seven there. insane period of bowling.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Root in his bubble ignoring everything around him as usual. What a guy.

 

[Calm_profit]

England should honestly reverse their batting order just to see how it goes

Bradman did it.

 

[ashley bach]

batsmen are at their most vulnerable while they are starting out, don’t want your aces to have to “start” twice, once during that night and again when dawn breaks

it’s not very wild logic

if your a batsman you should be able to hold on for 5 minutes, rather than screw up the batting order.
have always believed a night watchman is farcical.

no india's batting is much better than australia. its always been top shelf on batting. australia will never beat india in a test series for atleast the next 5 years. reason is brittle batting.

streem has immediately switched to bbl comm box with lee, haddin and julian ffs

Surely this has to be a sentient AI shitposting about cricket? Surely?

 

[Burgey]

Trying to work out how Cummins doesn’t have a wicket yet.

I'm not willing to say for sure until halba makes a standardized batting averages thread

You're Indian, you prefer T20 garbage anyway.

 

[Gob]

totally understand where you're coming from, but can't be convinced on this one.
will still say night watchman is one of the dumbest inventions in cricket.

Root double ton coming tomorrow

he'll be lucky to make 50 before all his pals get out though.

They definitely get misused sometimes, by over-doing how bad a batsman they send out/how long before close they send them out so that there's a pretty good chance of the batsman just having to come out again. Today was a fair enough use imo (although I guess you'd disagree on principle, and you're certainly not the only one), Leach basically had to survive 2 balls to save Stokes (not always they greatest starter in the past) from coming out, which isn't a big ask, he just... didn't

He only gets serious batsmen out ?

yeah maybe Jack saved Ben tonight, who knows?
one point is though, if you don't try to ''save'' you never have to worry about how many balls left, how much time left etc.
that way you can never **** it up, never mind the batting order.

Night Watchman is the best thing to happen to cricket.
If we opened with Shami and Bumrah we could have won the BG trophy first match too.

According to me, Whenever you think that conditions are a bit difficult, just reverse the batting order.

I once played cricket at 6 am in winter and chose to bat, my team also got out on 36.
I wasn't even able to spot the ball, and that too from a spinner.
